Tips on how to be a good "311 Mobile Reporter"

Please follow these few simple tips to help us help you:

Provide accurate address information.

When the map displayed on your mobile device is "zoomed out", sometimes we don't get a specific address. The crews need to know where to go to fix the problem.

For example:
33 Yonge Street: Good
1-50 Yonge Street: Not good – too general

Solution:
"Zoom In" on the location to provide us with the most accurate address possible.

Provide a short description of the problem in the report.

Yes, we'll get your picture if you provide it, but it may not be clear. A few words will really help out.

Provide a short description of the location in the text of the report.

This is necessary because the applications don't always give us the correct address automatically. The accuracy is based on the limitations of the phone, the quality of the cell signal, etc. Also, it's helpful to include information like:

"near the curb"
"20 feet from the corner"
"in front of the gas station"

Choose to submit service requests under your name or anonymously.

TDOT 311 - customers have the choice of setting the Reporter to be "Anonymous" or "Profile" on the mobile app. Using "Profile" you can optionally store your name, e-mail address and phone number.

SeeClickFix - service requests are displayed on the SeeClickFix website. This includes the info stored in "My Profile" on the mobile app. Customers can use an alias (e.g. "CivicReporter") if they prefer so that their name will not be shown on the website.

About the Open311 standard

Open311 is a set of technologies and standards for providing open, two-way communication around city service- and issue-tracking. More specifically, Open311 enables a web-based application programming interface (API) to connect with existing 311 systems. This permits applications to be built that interface directly with the city.

For more information on Open311 and the collaborative effort to create an open standard for 311 services, visit the Open311 website.
